exe file (created from jar) does not run on double click (command prompt program)

I made an .exe file out of a command prompt program that I created. The original .java file can be launched in command prompt or in Eclipse without any problem.

I created a .jar file from it by using Eclipse Neon Release 4.6.0.

From this .jar file I created an .exe file by using launch4j 3.8. When I double click on the created .exe file, it does not launch the command prompt automatically, and it does not run the created program.

I followed the steps described here. I used these steps to create programs with a GUI, and those programs worked fine. This command prompt program does not.

Is it possible that command prompt programs cannot be run this way? Or if there is a solution for this problem, can you please help me with it?

According to the Launch4J docs (http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/docs.html), you need to use:

launch4jc.exe

(note the c)

which no doubt wraps java.exe instead of javaw.exe
